Jake Peavy was exactly what the Giants needed in the second half of the 2014 season, so its not too Chad Pinder Jersey surprising he gave the team exactly what it needed Friday in Game 1 of the NLDS against the Nationals.The former Cy Young winner and current right arm-for hire kept the Nationals Dave Henderson Jersey scorele s through 5 2/3 innings with a little help from reliever Hunter Strickland to close out the sixth. The Nationals didnt even manage a hit off Peavy until the fifth inning.He finished with three strikeouts, three walks and two hits on 104 pitches, all while showing his trademark intensity on the field.. is INTENSE. MLB Fan Cave (@MLBFanCave) Jake Peavy is FIRED UP after that double play. #NLDSonFS1 (@FOXSports1) He also got the win as Marco Estrada Jersey San Francisco held on for a 3-2 victory.The Giants traded for Peavy, 33, in late Julydespite the fact he wasnt having Matt Olson Jersey a stellar season for the Red Sox(4.72 ERA in 20 starts). But in a dozen starts for San Francisco, Peavy had a 2.17 ERA; in his final nine starts, that ERA was a Kershawian 1.35.So after Madison Bumgarner twirled a gem in the wild-card game in Pittsburgh, Peavy got the nod to open Chris Bassitt Jersey the Division Series in the nations capital, and he didnt disappoint.
